The appearance energies for the [C 7 H 7 ] + and [C 8 H 9 ] + fragment ions produced in the fragmentation of the C‐1C‐4 monosubstituted alkyl benzenes have been measured by photon impact. The mean heat of formation calculated for [C 7 H 7 ] + is 205.3 ± 1.9 kcal mol −1 which is consistent with a threshold tropylium structure. For [C 8 H 9 ] + the mean heat of formation is calculated to be 199.2 ± 1.3 kcal mol −1 which can be equated with either a methyl tropylium or α‐phenylethyl structure at threshold. Some evidence is provided for the existence of the α‐phenylethyl ion.
